Produktbeschreibung

How did a new business school with twenty-two students in 1924 evolve into a world-class leader in management education a century later? Who were the school's legendary faculty members who revolutionized the accounting profession, influenced public policy decisions by US presidents, created the vocabulary that shapes business strategy, and more? What role does the school's location within a world-renowned university and a popular college town play in the school's success? These and other questions are answered as Professor George Siedel presents the history and stories that reveal the commitment of the University of Michigan Ross School of Business to building a better world through business. This book is a must-read for prospective and current U of M and Ross students, alumni, and faculty; business executives and entrepreneurs; university and business school leaders; and members of the Ann Arbor community.
